Configuration

The Configuration tab has the following fields.

Field

Global

Var?

Description

Name

No

The name to appear as the label for the iProcess Connection in the BusinessWorks project.

Description

No

Short description of the resource.

Server Discovery

No

The methods of discovery of the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server that you want to connect to. There are two options:

• Static - select this if your iProcess Objects Server is configured to use a static (fixed) TCP port.
• Directed UDP - select this if your iProcess Objects Server is configured to use a dynamic TCP port — the server’s TCP port changes each time the server is restarted. A directed UDP message is issued to a specific iProcess Objects Server to determine the TCP port to use.

For more information about configuring iProcess Objects Servers to use static or dynamic TCP ports, see TIBCO iProcess Server Objects Programmer’s Guide.

Static Configuration Options

Objects Server Name

Yes

The name of the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server you want to connect to.

Host Name

Yes

This is the name of the machine where the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server is installed. This field is disabled when the IP Address field contains a value. The IP Address field takes precedence over the Host Name field.

IP Address

Yes

The IP Address of the machine where the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server is installed.

TCP Port

Yes

The TCP port number where the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server is listening to requests.

Is Director

No

Specify whether or not a Director is used to locate the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server.

User Name

Yes

The User name to use when logging into the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server.

Password

Yes

The Password for the User name when logging into a TIBCO iProcess Objects Server.

For example:

Directed UDP Configuration Options

Objects Server Name

Yes

The name of the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server you want to connect to.

IP Address

Yes

The IP Address of the machine where the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server is installed.

UDP Port

Yes

This field is only displayed if you selected Directed UDP from the Server Discovery drop-down list.

The UDP port number where the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server is listening to requests.

User Name

Yes

The User name to use when logging into the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server.

Password

Yes

The Password for the User name when logging into the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server.

For example:

Test Connection Button

When the Test Connection button is clicked, TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks attempts to connect to the specified iProcess Objects Server using the information provided in the Configuration tab fields. You can use this button to determine if the connection will succeed. If the connection does succeed, then the fields of the Database Connection tab are automatically updated with the information. The information contained in the Configuration tab is only used at design-time to interact with the iProcess environment. At runtime, the information contained in the Database Connection tab is used.
